Welcome!

It’s time for another Spring 2014 collection launch!! The next Spring collection we are sharing with you is…Folklore by Heather Rosas!

Heather Rosas’ Folklore is the epitome of festive happiness with its eclectic color palette of poppy red and bright turquoise. The colors together create a unique combination that is both modern and folk-inspire, with the leaves, floral blooms, and bird prints. With a Scandinavian influence, this collection is vivacious and charismatic, reminding us of festival season and our love for the outdoors. This collection reminds us that we need to start planning our Summer garden party! We can imagine a beautiful Farmer’s Market tote (imagine picking up fresh produce & cut flowers with this collection?), a cute summer frock, or some cloth napkins for your Summer gatherings!

This stunner is our Framed Quilt by Chris Hoover of Whirligig Designs. You can find the free pattern for this quilt here!

Be sure to check out the rest of Folklore by Heather Rosas here! As well, you can find free patterns for project ideas here, here, here, here, here, and here. There’s one last day of our Spring 2014 Collection Launch Week, and two more collections to share. See you tomorrow, fabric enthusiasts! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope you all had a fantastic and loving Mother’s Day weekend. It was absolutely gorgeous here this weekend, the weather was pristine, and we are hoping it only continues like this! We are also launching our new Spring 2014 collections this week, so there will be extra blog posts today, but we are keeping our regular schedule too. Lots of goodies for you to read/see this week!

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are sharing our Whoo’s Cute by Heather Rosas moodboard with you all. This collection is soft, cuddly, and innocently adorable. As the name suggests, this is a fun, owl-printed collection featuring woodland-sy branches, leaves, and acorns! Whoo’s Cute features a warm mix of pinks and blues, along with brown and green to match the woodsy theme. The owls are friendly and kind, and the soft patterns make this collection perfect for a girl or boy nursery, or for a couple of sweet, Spring dresses. Whoo’s Cute by Heather Rosas is also available in both cotton and flannel.

Keeping in the theme of all things magical and kid-friendly, Disney’s Maleficent is coming to a screen near you soon! We are just so excited, being uber Disney fans at the Camelot Design Studio, so we will definitely be watching this movie when it hits theaters. We all know the story of Sleeping Beauty, but now it’s the evil queen’s time to shine. The Maleficent movie will dig deeper into the Evil Queen’s reasoning behind casting a sleeping spell on Princess Aurora. What’s even more amazing is that Angelina Jolie will be Maleficent, Ella Fanning will play Aurora. We can’t wait! You can check out the full trailer here! The movie will be in theaters later this month.

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday! I know there were quite a few blog posts today, so we hope things aren’t too confusing. If you missed them, please check out our Star Wars III, Ultimate Spider-Man II, and Girl Power II blog posts about each collection in more depth. We really hope you enjoy our new Spring 2014 collections; there’s more to come this week! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday!! It is such a beautiful day out, and we are feeling reenergized and great! Today is also National Pet Day so be sure to give your pets some extra lovin’ (…and a couple of extra treats too!)

When we aren’t finding inspiration on Pinterest, you can most often find us perusing Instragram – We LOVE coming across projects using our fabric collections! If you upload one, be sure to tag all your CF fabric projects with the hashtag #CamelotFabrics so that we can find them!! Seeing them always make our day :)

To end another fantastic week, we have our Fan Friday to share with you. Julie Mylander of the Quilty Sewing Blog created a Lil Monster Quilt with our Monster Mash by Heather Rosas Collection that is just the sweetest! When we saw this Lil Monster Quilt on Instagram, we got SO excited here in the office!!

Julie created this quilt for a co-worker’s niece who is having a baby boy, and decided to go with our Monster Mash Collection to fit the lil monster-themed nursery. Super cute!! She decided on a nine patch patchy 39″ x 46″ quilt design, and all the colors look fantastic together ! The monsters make this a perfect quilt for a baby boy, and it will look great in the nursery!

Thank you so much for letting us share your wonderful quilt, Julie! We are so happy that you enjoyed using our Monster Mash Collection. Congratulations to the mommy-to-be; we hope she and her baby boy will enjoy this Lil Monsters Quilt as much as we adore it. You can find out more on Julie’s blog here. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a great day so far. Today is the last day to enter our Chalkboard Fabric Giveaway on the blog. Let us know what you would make with our chalkboard fabric for a chance to win. Enter here!

As well, one of our biggest projects as of late has been our Free Projects section on our website and blog! Since the launch of our Camelot Fabrics blog back in September 2013, we have been posting a new free project every week! From adorable baby shoes to DIY chalkboard banners to plush stegosauruses…we’ve crafted a multitude of amazing projects for you all, with free instructions, diagrams, and patterns. One of the greatest things has been the positive feedback and the pictures sent to us of our projects, from you all! So thank you, keep sending them to us! :)

Along with our free projects, we have been partnering with some very talented quilt designers to create one-of-a-kind quilt patterns for our website. Our fabric collections have a fresh and modern twist to them, and all the quilt designs reflect our style perfectly. All the free quilt designs include the instructions, diagrams, and necessary skus in PDF format which you can check out here. We wanted to thank all our wonderful quilt designers for creating some incredible quilt designs for us! You guys rock!! :)

Today we are featuring one of our quilt designs for this week’s How To’s Day. Larene Smith, from The Quilted Button, designed this sweet baby quilt called Diamond Sparkle. You can use any fabric of your choice, but we think this quilt looks especially darling with our Dream a Little Dream Collection by Heather Rosas. Today we thought we’d provide a step-by-step on how to create your very own Diamond Sparkle Quilt – the perfect blanket for all the little ones you know!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! How was everyone’s weekend? The weather here was pretty mild, but the snow started to come down last night and it is officially a blizzard out there. We definitely have had our share of a winter wonderland here now. Very cold, very windy, and very white! :) Oh – have you entered our Iconic Giveaway yet? Let us know what you think is the most iconic, hopeless romantic moment to enter!

To start off this week, we’ve got our Moody Monday for you all. Today we are sharing with your our Fairyville by Heather Rosas moodboard. We could use a little sprinkle of magic dust from the weather fairy!

Our Fairyville collection is absolutely adorable – a super sweet, frilly, and girly fabric collection full of magic and imagination. This collection features little fairies living in their tree and apple houses, amongst their animal friends. Oh, how darling right?

The colors are pastel and soft – a mix of delightful greens, pinks, and yellows – making the collection very pretty and airy. It would be the perfect collection for a girl-themed, whimsical room or for the loveliest dress for your fairy-in-training! Check out the full collection here. As well, check out our new Fat Quarter Bundles on our website, which includes our Fairyville collection! :)

One trend that will be especially big this coming Spring 2014 is anything whimsical, whether it be bold floral prints or fluttery tulle skirts, that we drew from inspiration for this week’s Moody Monday. A collection that we were gravitated towards was Mary Katrantzou’s Spring 2014 Collection. There was a beautiful mix of earthy & extravagant patterns and silhouettes from this collection, but we especially adored the splashes of floral color, ruffles, and contemporary silhouettes.

Each of the dresses gave a very ethereal and pretty feel, while still being modern in its fit and style. If a fairy were living here in modern times, these dresses would definitely be what she would wear. Yes, we believe!! You can check out all the fantastical dresses here. Thank you so much for reading today’s post, and we hope you have been inspired :)

Happy Sewing!
